Essentially what you do is actuate the larger piston so that the air travels through the solenoid into the cylinder. The smaller cylinder is acting like a latch and is blocking the large cylinder from extending. Once the air is in the cylinder and the cylinder is supposed to be extended you retract the smaller cylinder out of the way ("unlatching" the large cylinder. Then the large cylinder will extend much more rapidly than it would have without the latch because the extension speed will not be dependent upon the air flow through the solenoid. It is basically a way to get around the air flow problem that many people experience with the solenoid.
If you want a more detailed explanation we did something like this on our 2010 bot. PM me and I can try to explain it better.
I would not want the task of devising a system that 50,000 very smart people try to outwit. - texarkana [more]
